We put in all new doors in our house recently. Several months ago I had a Pharmacology class to teach at the University Center...locked my keys in the bedroom so was stranded. I shook and rattlled the door, no luck, tried the trick you see in mystery movies with the cards, no dice...so ah-la CSI decided to kick open the door. Now as a past ballet dancer (another talent) I have very strong legs and when I kicked the door...the whole thing went thump! open...yes! but the door and the frame were on the floor in the bedroom. I had to call my husband on the way to campus to inform him of my mess as he was scheduled to be home before I was and didn't want him to think we had been robbed. (I left the mess and cracked molding where it was and rushed to my students at school, how dedicated is that!)

Anyway...hubby decided instead of replacing the one door, we would replace all 15 of the doors in the house (he saw some snazzy new ones at Lowes). Count yours, there are more than you think counting bathroom, closests and such. It has now taken 8 months for him to get 14 in...our bathroom is still not done. I am tired of waiting for all to go in before painting and hope my energy will transfer to the man of the house and he will get the urge to replace the last door. So I am off, paintbrush and roller in hand to tackle the job...one I actually created for myself quite a whille ago. See you tomorrow...if anyone reads this. path

About Me

I'm a wife of 45 years, mother of 5, grandmother of 16. I've been a writer all my life and began directing plays in the second grade. I've written, and directed numerous community productions many under the name "The Santa Clarita Valley Light Opera Company". While my children were young I set aside many of my interests and now that most have left the nest I can get back to writing. I've finally completed my first novel, and I must say it's almost like giving birth, except it took more than 9 months. I'm now working to have my novel published which I've found is much like casting a play...too tall, too short, not enough experience...HEY how about Life? When my children were still at home I was elected four times to the Governing Board of The Hart High School District of 25,000 students. In 16 years I helped build 5 schools, hired 3 Superintendents and maintained fiscal solvency by working with teachers, parents and created a foundation to acquire building sites. I've taught nursing for 20 years and have been an RN for over 40. I Currently teach Pharmacolocy, and Maternal-Child Health at UCLA Olive View for COC, all the time typing away hoping to be noticed by a publisher.
